For almost a year now I've had this really annoying problem that seemed completely random, where my computer would crash on sleep. It does sleep normally most of the time, but then out of the blue it would freeze on sleep - where monitors and the RGB lighting on my keyboard and mouse turn off, but the fans are still going and the lights on the computer stay on and it produces heat - and become completely unresponsive until i force it off. It annoyed the everlasting gobstopper out of me because there seemed to be no pattern - except that it basically never did it immediately after a fresh boot.

Only recently did I finally notice that it seemed to almost correlate to whenever I launched Steam and play a game so I asked Brave AI if that was a known issue and lo and behold it was a persistent issue where Steam would override power management when playing a game but fail to release the override, so the system just hangs on the override. The suggestion was to add SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 to the launch options so I right-click the icon in the start menu select properties and add it to the command, and lo and behold my computer went to sleep properly every single time. At least until it started happening again, where I realised that I was launching steam by launching the game directly which bypassed the start menu option I overrode the override on.

So is this an issue anyone else have discovered? What have they done to fix it properly? This is Linux Mint 22.2 with Nvidia 1660 super btw

I am having a problem with Sober (roblox), for example there are shooter games that have usable vehicles, but when I want to select the secondary weapon it does not allow me to do so no matter how many times I press the buttons, but outside of the vehicle I can use any primary or secondary weapon, does anyone know a solution?

I just got a prebuilt system from cyberpower, and I’m loving it! Got myself CachyOS running everything with no issues.

The question I have is there any benefit to upgrading from 32gb of ram to 64gb on these specs and get better gaming performance? I’m aware of the ram prices so it will be later once things stabilized. Oh, and I am only running one stick of ram I know not happy about it either.

Everything was working perfectly fine yesterday, but today none of my mouse clicks register in any of my games. No idea what's going on rn. Not even switching proton versions seems to be doing anything so hopefully someone can help me with this. (Sorry for loud background noise as space heater was running.)

I tried using archive and steamrip with no luck. I go through the installation process on lutris like usual but when I launch the game using the 3dm exe the game crashes on the logo. When I try running it using the normal fifa14 exe I get an origin launcher error. Any help would be amazing. Thanks

So I just setup my linux mint setup on my rtx 4060 laptop and downloaded the recommended graphics driver. Afterwards I downloaded steam and tried playing silent hill 2 but mint doesn’t use my dedicated gpu for games it uses the integrated intel graphics card. I started looking around in Nvidias settings after I understood this I turned the performance mode on for the 4060 but now the game doesn’t even open. I don’t understand can someone help me?

Right now Steam Storage setting say /Home/[username]/.local/share/steam/ However that is a smallish drive for the OS. I WANT to install in an HDD at /media/[username]/Games

But I cant select this location, it just does fill it into the settings. How do I get the library to install in a different drive?

Kubuntu 25.10, fresh install, just downloaded Steam.
Let me know if I need to pull any logs or check any setting (Im NOT good yet but Ill find it)

I'll be as brief as possible. Been using Windows since forever, but there's no way I'm installing W11, so I've been looking at switching to Linux. I'm also a couple days away from getting my last components for a brand new PC build, so it seems like a good time to make a switch, but I'm having a hard time picking a distro to go with. I use my desktop for just a few things:

1 - playing Warframe
2 - capturing video of Warframe gameplay
3 - basic internet stuff
4 - playing/organizing music and syncing music to iPhone

Despite being a content creator, I don't use my desktop for video editing, as I've found my iPad Pro performs better for my needs and is more comfortable for me. And despite primarily using the machine for playing a game, I don't think of my needs as "gaming focused" since I almost never play anything other than Warframe (maybe Path of Exile II). I'm more concerned with how a distro (or Linux on the whole) will work with that one specific game than how it functions for "gaming" if that makes sense. Basically, if Warframe is going to run in 1440p at 120 fps on "very good" graphical settings (there are lots of "ultra" effects and settings I turn off because I find them distracting) while capturing footage in OBS, then I'm golden. If the difference between a non-gaming distro and a gaming distro is going from something better than those requirements to something MORE better (e.g. 300 fps compared to 500 fps), then I'm not concerned, but I don't know if that's the case here.

Here is a link to my new rig if anyone is interested (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g9LrzP) but I think the bit that's relevant is that I went with AMD for CPU and GPU which (if I'm understanding correctly) sets me up for a better experience on Linux.

After a fair amount of research, I've narrowed to field to a few distros. Here are my thoughts (please correct me if I'm off base on anything):

Mint
+ very easy to get going and maintain
+ best odds of things "just working"
- not as flexible as other options (no native KDE option)
- not as powerful as other options

CachyOS
+ more powerful option (again, not sure if this power is superfluous for my needs)
+ fairly flexible
+ streamlined process for "gaming setup" (getting Steam/Proton rolling)
- rolling-release (might install easily, but require learning Linux quickly to maintain)

Fedora
+ very flexible
+ fairly powerful (possibly enough or more for my needs)
- a less streamlined process for "gaming setup"

I've also looked into Ubuntu (Mint seemed like a better "easy" option), Debian (seemed like similar pros/cons to CachyOS and Fedora) and some others, but I kept coming back to those 3 (probably because they seem to be talked about the most in the past year).

Hopefully that's enough info to help y'all give me some thoughts/recommendations/advice on how to move forward. Thank you very much in advance; I greatly appreciate any wisdom you'd be willing to share.

One of the best game series ever, and all of them have Linux Native builds. Make sure you buy the "Redux" versions of 2033 and Last Light, since those are the remastered versions.

The bundle is $7.49 for all three games

Hello, i'm pretty new with arch, so I went with EndeavourOS, which, as far my research went, is just using the archinstall script but a bit more friendly. After setting up Hyprland the way I wanted, I decided to try some games on steam, and I decided to go with Yugioh Master Duel.

Despite having downloaded nearly everything vulkan related in my machine, using gamescope and Proton, the game refuses to start. When I launch stream through the terminal I get errors message that note im unable to initialize vulkan.

I also do not have the option of using "vulkaninfo" nor "vkcube" in my terminal, despite my package managers telling me I do have it installed.

Further more, I know my machine is underpowered for the Master Duel game, but with research online, a I3 2365m was able to run it smoothly. Is there anything else I could try to do to have my game launch?

If you look at the left and top border of that picture, there's two strange white lines there for some reason. This only happens with HD2, I've never seen them in another game. I can technically get rid of them by putting the game in fullscreen, but that also disables my ability to alt-tab as the game refuses to maximise again after I do. I suppose a solution to that problem would also be an appreciated alternative.

I installed Bazzite (and CachyOS) on a secondary SSD a few days ago and I'm quite pleasantly surprised so far.

Two things I unfortunately can't solve:

- The FSR frame gen in Arc Raiders isn't displayed. I've tried all Proton versions without success. (GPU is a 6800 XT)

Can't find any fixes.

- A virtual keyboard like in Windows 11. I often need this when I switch from my PC to my TV with my wireless mouse.

Does something like this even exist? If so, how do I get an on-screen keyboard working?

I've been trying to get Helldivers to run properly on my installation of Linux Mint. So far I have: Switched from fractional scaling to non fractional scaling, attempted to install modern proprietary drivers, and tried running Helldivers with Proton version 10, 9, & 8.

Helldivers *will* run but the framerate gutters on everything, and even Low feels kind of sluggish. I'm open to any ideas.

I'm using an AMD Gpu if that helps.

Included is my Fastfetch data and inxi screenshot if that'll help.

If there's any more data you need I'll try to provide it.
